Essays Toward a Symbolic of Motives, 1950-1955
Kenneth Burke

Parlor Press, 2006

In August, 1959, an anxious William Rueckert wrote Kenneth Burke to ask, "When on earth is that perpetually 'forthcoming' A Symbolic of Motives forthcoming? Will it be soon enough so that I can wait for it before I complete my book [Kenneth Burke and the Drama of Human Relations]? If the Symbolic is not forthcoming soon, would it be too much trouble for you to send me a list of exactly what will be included in the book, and some idea of the ...

Here & Elsewhere: The Collected Fiction Of Kenneth Burke
Kenneth Burke

David R Godine, 2005

The stories of Kenneth Burke (1897 1993) were unlike any other fiction of the 1920s. Not for him the stripped-down language of Hemingway or the topical satire of Fitzgerald; instead he constructed rhetorically gorgeous essay-stories that anticipated (by 40 years) the narrative techniques of Calvino, Gass, and Nicholson Baker. Here & Elsewhere gathers, for the first time, all of Burke's fiction: 23 short stories and Towards a Better Life (1932), ...

A welcome and enthusiastically recommended addition

The Philosophy of Literary Form

1 review
Kenneth Burke

University of California Press, 1974

Not yet a fullfledged theory
Kenneth Burke is trying here to define the symbolic, though he makes it too empirical by speaking of symbolic action. This leads him to three levels of definition : the bodily or biological level ; the personal, intimate, familiar, familistic level ; the abstract level. We can see here that he does not encompass two essential levels : the historical, anthropological and social level for one in ...

Death In Venice

Thomas Mann, Kenneth Burke, ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1970

Excellent Translation in Dover Edition - Helpful Commentary
Death in Venice (1912) is a disturbing story, one that is not easy to forget. It is also exceptional literature, a classic of the twentieth century. Thomas Mann's Death in Venice might be best compared to the subtle, psychologically complex fiction of Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. In Munich the aging, highly respected author Gustav Aschenbach is in need of change, rest ...
